Engine turning direction


Recommended Posts

Today was my first attempt to remove the cylinder head. The idiot that I am forgot that I should turn the cam clockwise. I made several counterclockwise turns. Did I mess up my oil pump? I drained all the oil before doing any of this.

I turned the cam to get the piston at TDC in order to mark the timing chain position before I removed the head for easier reassembly. I'm just worried that I messed up my oil pump, because I turned it at least 10 times in the wrong direction.

So you turned the whole engine by turning the cam, and the wrong way? Which is to say you turned the crank by pulling on the tight side of the chain? 

That won't be a problem for the oil pump. Don't think that'll be a problem at all.
